Those spinners look useful.

For paper books, I have just started A Long Game: Notes On Writing Fiction by Elizabeth McCracken. I'm listening to a bunch of audiobooks right now. Arguably by Christopher Hitchens (weighing in at 28 hours, 22 minutes of content) and The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye by A.S. Byatt are some...

Today I leaned that flour can be highly combustible—even explosive—if it’s in a fine, powdered form, dispersed in the air, and exposed to a spark or flame.

I really like sourcebooks that are fonts of good ideas. 🍻

I suggest using Myth Drannor as a pass through. The Dalelands are enormous. As it happens, Myth Drannor is filled with portals (what us old timers call Gates) that allow instant travel all over the Realms, including many a location in the Dales. If your players need to get from Shadowdale to...

EN World has made me better (read: mellowed me out). Thank you, fellow humans, for being awesome.
